This morning it seemed to groan louder and take longer than usual. The car would take a few minutes to warm up so he turned on the radio to get the end of the 8 o'clock news. The same news items he seemed to héar every morning drifted vaguely to his now immune ears accompanied by the shrill tunes of the commercials. The latest figures of the famine in Africa punctuated by a toothpaste commercial for whiter teeth and fresher breath and that one-in-a-million smile. Didn't look like the car would get started this morning. He tried the choke. Tried again, No luck, Just ‘one more of those terrible coincidences: trouble with the car right on the day of the meeting of the Board of Directors when his promotion to Chief Executive would be ratified in his presence. Wouldn't it be funny — not arriving on time exactly on the day he was to accept his new promotion! His rivals would of course maliciously hint to the President of the firm that this was just his usual informal self: — “Never on time, but nothing to worry. If he doesn't turn up in two hours, then we can begin to start worrying! Ha! ha! hal.” It looked like he'd have to take a taxi and be quick at it, After all the difference in salary that came with the promotion was too big to be waived aside — it wasn't the prestige or the power that he was interested in. It would mean being able to buy a second house down at the coast big enough for the whole family. He couldn’t stand the pressure of his children comparing themselves with their friends who seemed to have everythin; The first taxi promptly halted at the curb. and be quick please; I'm in one heck of a hurry? ‘The incipient heat of the spring day slowly took hold of him, forcing him to loosen his tie YAZIGI 22 QUEST 1— “Hey, look fellow, can’t you speed it up a bit?

I’ve often thought of taking up something else”” — “And why don’t you? Aren't you afraid of being mugged or attacked or something? Driving a taxi in this city can be dangerous:” — “Of course I'm afraid, but necessity is stronger. 1 can't afford to be afraid. I have three little girls at home to think of. It's not easy for a woman like me to find a job that can support a family nowadays? — “How does your husband feel about you taking such risks in this city?” — “Husband? The bastard went off with my cousin three weeks before my last little girl was born. I'll kill him if he shows up ever again! I can do without the likes of him, thank you!” — “You mean you live off your earnings as a taxi-driver? And who takes care of the children?” — “Don’t worry about them, sir. The eldest is seven already, She looks after the other two. You know something? Sometimes | think she’s more of an adult than I am” The heat now forced him to open the second and third button of his shirt. He thought of his own daughter who was also seven — so delicate and fragile so much in need of protection. — “Here we are, sir. This is the address you gave me, isn’t it?” He made it. In spite of everything he was still five minutes early. But his initial relief gave way to sudden hesitation: — “No,..uh...um...I’m sorry. Look, uh, I got the address wrong — it’s four blocks further on... And, uh, please, don’t forget I'm in a hurry” — ‘The lady sitting opposite the Inspector looked flushed and impatient. — “Yes, Ma’am. I do understand how you feel... but we have to be patient.

No one just vanishes into thin air on the day of his fifteenth wedding anniversary. And do you know that it was on the same day that he was going to receive an excellent promotion! Is that what you call logical! Look, Inspector, my husband has never gone anywhere on his own before. He’s such a family man, Inspector, he'd never go off for a whole week and not tell anyone. And he knew how much I was looking forward to our anniversary dinner” — “I’m sorry ma'am, but we've done all the routine checks - the hospitals, the morgue, police stations all over the city — the works!
